The press corp has been staying seated whenever former president George W. Bush enters a room. Why is this? It has always been that when a president enters a room, people stand.
When Bush was in office, he did alienate some of the press. He bypassed the corp and went directly to the papers and some of the cable news hosts with leaks. And the time when he closed the press room and said it was being enlarged and remodeled.
I don't care what their personal problems are with the president, I think they should offer him the courtesy and respect of being the former leader of our country.I guess they have all seen the Frost/Nixon movie.

EU CALLS FOR "NEW DEAL FOR NEW WORLD " WITH OBAMA
Economic Times | November 6, 2008
BRUSSELS: The head of the European Union (EU)’s executive body, the European Commission, on Wednesday congratulated Barack Obama on his victory in
the US presidential election and called on him to work with the EU to shape a "new deal for a new world".
"This is a time for a renewed commitment between Europe and the US. I want to assure Senator Obama of the support of the European Commission and of my personal support in forging this renewed commitment to face together the many challenges ahead of us," European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said.
"We need a new deal for a new world. I sincerely hope that with the leadership of President Obama, the US will join forces with Europe to drive this new deal - for the benefit of our societies, for the benefit of the world," he said in a statement.
Ahead of Tuesday’s election, politicians across Europe had expressed the hope that the successor to US President George W Bush - whether Obama or his rival, John McCain - would abandon Bush’s unilateral stance in favour of more cooperation with the EU.
